Actor Corey Feldman has found himself thrown back into the spotlight after claiming in October that he had revealed the names of various sexual predators in Hollywood to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office during a 1993 investigation into Michael Jackson’s molestation charges.

At first, the sherriff’s office claimed that no such tape existed — until now.

In a statement to Fox News on Tuesday, Santa Barbara County Sherriff’s Office public information officer Kelly Hoover revealed that tapes from Feldman’s interview had been discovered.

“Following the recent inquiries into the Sheriff’s Office interview of Mr. Feldman in 1993, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office conducted an additional review for any stored items remaining from the Michael Jackson investigation,” the statement said.

“In a container which included the original reports from the investigation, the Sheriff’s Office located some detective working copies of audio recordings made during the investigation,” Hoover said. “A copy of Mr. Feldman’s interview was located.”

Hoover further stated that the recording will be turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department, since the case itself involves accusations of child sex abuse.

“We are unable to comment further and any documentation or evidence related to this case is exempt from release,” Hoover concluded.

However, the recent statement is in direct contrast to a response released in October, after authorities questioned the validity of Feldman’s claims.

“We are aware of the statements that Mr. Feldman is making regarding an investigation in 1993. Our records do not indicate that he named any suspects,” was the statement previously released by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

In recent months, Feldman, 46, has appeared in multiple interviews in an attempt to expose a pedophile ring he claims exists in Hollywood.

Feldman’s statement regarding the recently unearthed tapes came during an October interview on “Today.”

“They’re on record. They have all this information,” Feldman told “Today” host Matt Lauer.

“It will be a very true story. Everybody that affected my life, I’m going to give the perspective that I can give, what I viewed, what I experienced from a first-hand account,” Feldman told Lauer when discussing a film he plans to make in an attempt to expose sexual abusers in the entertainment industry.

The former “Goonies” actor created an Indiegogo campaign in an attempt to fund the project and “bring to light what is happening in the world of entertainment as far as perverts and pedophiles, and all of the topics of what we’ve been discussing.”

According to Fox News, Feldman’s campaign is seeking to raise $10 million. At the time of writing this article, Feldman’s campaign has raised over $250,000 in contributions.

During an early November appearance on “Dr. Oz,” Feldman named former child talent manager Marty Weiss and actor Jon Grissom as those who had abused him as a child actor in Hollywood.

Feldman then appeared on another episode of “Dr. Oz” that same month for a follow-up interview where he claimed to have been abused by underage disco operator Alphy Hoffman, The Western Journal reported.
